Make statements about implications or possible actions based on the results of an investigation.
Make conclusions on the basis of statistical investigations.
Action your findings.
As a year 7/8 student the statistical investigations that you undertake should fit a purpose. Think carefully about how information could benefit others in some way. Key Queston:What action will you take to make a difference once you have analyzed your data?

NUMERACY CHALLENGE:
Base 10 versus Base 12
I challenge the maths experts to research, form and opinion and justify it in relation to the sub title above.
Is a base 12 number system a more sensible choice for us than a base 10 system? Explain and justify your stance on your blog. See The references in my blog posts on Woodmonstas!
What we are trying to learn:
- How to plan for and undertake a statistical investigation. (Process)
- Learn about data tables, graphs and charts.
- Terminology: Mean, median, mode, range, clusters, outliers, frequency, Lower quartile, Upper Quartile, lowest and highest extremes
Specific Learning Outcomes:As a year 7/8 student the statistical investigations that you undertake should fit a purpose. Think carefully about how information could benefit others in some way.
Key Queston: What action will you take to make a difference once you have analyzed your data?
Good investigations come from good questions!
